Greatwater Lake belongs to the sand

Sorry this took so long to get to!

He trailed out. The storm had died, it having left overnight in complete contrast to how it swept in.
He wandered to the lake, wondering if it was frozen. 
It wasn't, not fully anyway. It looked liquid towards the centre, but the edges might be frozen enough to walk on. But he wasn't going to risk it.
His plan was to pass halfway around and cross back across it, but that wasn't going to happen now.

Most of his way around, he spotted...a shuffling fluff. A sandy cloud in the sparkling expanse of Kintla. 
He clocked his head, pausing for a moment. 
Then, Rowan decided it was probably just a funny-looking wolf, and chuffed, trotting closer with a waving tail and head dipped in greeting.
He grinned when he neared.
"Hey," he chirped.
